OA MAIL TRIBUNE. MdforJ, Oregon, Sunday, November 30, 1958 Number of Tuberculosis Cases Stay About Same The number of new tuber rulosis cases each year re mains about the same, accord ing to Dr. Ambrose S. Church Ill, director of the tubercu losis section of the State Board of Health. He spoke to a number of groups in Med ford last week. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Jackson County Tuberculosis and Health association, Dr. Churchill stated that new drugs and modern surgical methods have reduced the death rate until now TB ranks only 19th in cause of death in the United States. He stressed, however, that TB remains a public health problem and that persons who once had the disease are subject to relapse into active cases again.

There is a need for intens ive casefinding, because most of the cases have not been found until they are moder ately advanced. Chest x-rays and tuberculin tests are used in diagnosing. Dr. Churchill commended Jackson county for its tuber culin testing program in the schools, which is carried out by the county health depart ment and ranks first in the state. He also described present research being done with tu berculosis. Such work, along with case finding, TB pre vention and health education, is financed through help from the sale of Christmas seals.

CO Howard School Asks Reconsideration of Reforming Program Members of the Howard school district board appeared before the Jackson County School District Reorganiza tion committee last week to request a reconsideration of the committee's proposal to unite four districts. Reorganization committees were established in all Ore gon counties by legislation last year to study and make recommendations concerning reorganization of the county school districts. The Howard representatives opposed the reorganization committee's proposal to unite into one administrative dist rict the Rogue River, Evans Valley, Central Point and Howard schools. They pointed out that the Howard district previously in dicated its first choice organi zation is to remain as it is. Second choice is to units with Medford and the third choice is to unite with Central Point. The reorganization commit tee gave the district until Dec. 22 to poll residents in the Howard district to determine their wishes. Proposals to reorganize school districts in other areas Local Agencies to Merger; Plan Move Merger of the Barker-Hart Real Estate agency with the Robinson-Potter-Ripley Insur ance agency has been announ ced by members of the firms. The change is expected to take place about Jan. 1, when the agency moves into new offices in the Security build ing, 48 Hawthorne ave. The new firm, titled Se curity Insurance and Realty, will handle all types of real estate and insurance services, it was said. Members include Chris Barker and Floyd H. Hart, who have been affiliated the past two years, and J.- Robin son, A.N. Potter and John Rip ley. The later agency is one of the oldest in the valley. of the county are only tenta tive, it was said, and would bee hanged if sufficient evi dence were presented. As a continuation of previ ous planning, the committee recommended the combina tion of Jacksonville district with Medford. The addition of Griffin Creek and Lone Pine to Medford already had been tentatively approved by the committee. The approval or the, Jack sonville proposal followed the results of a public opinion poll taken in the Jacksonville district. The results of the poll, which was conducted by the local board, showed 419 per sons favored a proposal to join with some larger district and transport high school pu pils; 122 were against the proposal; 248 favored joining the Medford district; 44 fa vored joining Phoenix; and 120 favored joining the Cen tral Point district. Harold Wall, a member of the Jacksonville school board, indicated a desire for action on the consolidation. However, the committee withheld their recommenda tion on Ruch school district since no positive action had been taken in that district, it was taken. Glenn Smith, Ruch, of the reorganization committee, requested time to take up the matter with resi dents in his district. Problems Discussed Among problems discussed with the newly elected Re publican State representative, Mrs. Eve Nye, and Mrs. Moore Hamilton of the state board of education, who were guests at the meeting, was disposition of the Applegate school district. Applegate residents appear to be strongily in favor of belonging to the Josephine county unit system, according to the committee's reports. Such action would require several changes be made in the reorganization law before the committee could take ac tion, since there are no pro visions at present for continu- 1 MEMO TO ADVERTISERSC JA a p iLrV of (irculaiionQaL In the same way that sterling on silver signifies a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of newspapers and periodicals.

The deadline for the tentative plan is Oct. 7, with the total plan follow ing required hearings on the local level to be submitted to the state board by April 7, 1959.
